Pintu, a former Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal chief and MP, died after suffering a cardiac arrest at the Rajshahi Medical College and Hospital, doctors said on Sunday.
His family claimed it was a case of ‘premeditated murder’ but jail officials dismissed the allegations.
BNP chief Khaleda Zia, in a statement, condemned what she described as the ‘inhumanity’ of the jail authorities.
“Gross negligence of the jail authorities and disregard for doctors’ advice led to Pintu’s untimely death,” the former prime minister said.
